MG MGA - Moto-Lita wheel ... or is it?

I've been restoring a wood-rim steering wheel. I think it's a Moto-Lita, but now I'm not so sure. It appears to be a Mark 3 Woodrim, with the usual round holes in the spokes, and the boss attached with nine bolts and a top ring.

I bought it with an existing boss attached, but it doesn't fit the A, so I've been looking at replacing it with a standard Moto-Lita boss. That's when I measured it! It turns out that the hole cut in the centre of the wheel has a diameter of 2 1/4" (whereas the standard Moto-Lita has a hole diameter of 3 1/2"). The top ring has an outer diameter of
3 11/16".

Does anyone have any ideas of where I might get a boss that fits these dimensions, and what make the wheel might be?

Thanks.

Richard.
